The Save Our Youth (SOY) Center empowers the youth of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach to make positive decisions in life through a variety of programs including academic, dance, art & music, health & fitness, and student empowerment.

Established in 1993,  SOY was founded by parents on the Westside of Costa Mesa who believed their teenagers needed an alternative to gangs and the temptation of the streets.

As a non-profit agency serving low-income youth to provide a worthwhile option to an at-risk lifestyle.

SOY provides a healthy environment where teens receive mentoring, tutoring plus, visits to college campuses throughout California.
